The event will be held from 7 - 9 November at the Dubai
World Trade Centre in the UAE.

As the beverage packaging material of choice, PET continues to
dominate the markets in both the Middle East and the UAE with a
predicted annual CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of more than 7%
over the next four years.[1] The soft drinks market is also forecasted to go
on growing, with bottled water continuing to outperform carbonated
soft drinks and juices. With over 35,000 visitors expected from
more than 60 countries, Sidel experts will be addressing the needs
of the food and beverage companies, who are looking to move up the
value chain and increase production while maintaining a healthy
cost of ownership and low energy consumption. Consequently, the
packaging industry is undergoing significant growth in the region
and buyers are seeking innovation, efficiency, improved output and
production flexibility.

"From Booth Z2-E18 at one of the biggest packaging and
manufacturing events in the Middle East and Africa, we will be
presenting the very latest technologies that support Sidel's
customers around the world," says Eric Schaffner, Vice President of
Sales for Asia, Middle East and Africa at Sidel. "As well as our
expertise in packaging, tooling and energy-saving and our
innovative after-sales services aimed at maintaining and improving
line performance, our focus at Gulfood this year will be on
complete lines for water, juices and CSD (carbonated soft drinks)
production. Our ability in providing producers with bespoke
packaging solutions is demonstrated across all categories of drinks
and liquid foods, home and personal care products, oils and
sauces."

Through its complete lines, Sidel believes that finding the
optimum solution for any bottling line goes beyond any simple
choice of equipment. Whether customers are bottling water at high
speed or packaging juice products with high sensitivity, it is
always best that they consider the specific production needs of any
line from the very beginning. By partnering with Sidel from the
start and collaborating at every step of the installation, beverage
producers can boost speed and hygiene with Sidel water lines,
ensure flexibility and quick changeovers with Sidel carbonated soft
drinks lines and increase their packaging freedom with Sidel hot
fill lines.

Visitors will also be able to address Sidel Services™ portfolio,
through which producers can increase the value of their beverage
production, lower energy consumption and increase production
efficiency and sustainability.

Schaffner concludes - "We will bring the expertise we have built
over more than 165 years to help producers meet the challenges they
are currently facing with complete line solutions and services
across all product categories. We look forward to discussing our
offering with visitors to Gulfood Manufacturing 2016."
